Feature Comparison

Essential tools for Perl programmers X X
The Perl Dev Kit (PDK) provides essential tools for Perl programmers, making it simple to build and deploy applications. PDK features application builders for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, Solaris, and AIX; plus a suite of tools to speed development time and improve code quality. PDK 8.0 supports ActivePerl 5.8 and ActivePerl 5.10.
Integrated tools for Perl programmers X
For Perl programmers, ActiveState's Perl Dev Kit (PDK) is the best way to deploy your applications. Komodo's integration with PDK makes it easy to build ready-to-use executables right from your Komodo workspace. Get both in ActivePerl Pro Studio. Simplicity for your users, security and reliability for you.
Award-winning IDE X X
Code smarter and faster with Komodo IDE, the award-winning professional development environment for dynamic languages and open technologies, included in Pro Studio subscriptions.
Multi-platform, user-based licenses X X X
Licenses are user-based, so a single license covers you across all the languages, platforms, and systems you use: at home, at work, or at the coffee shop. Once you've purchased a license, it's yours. It doesn't expire. ActiveState licenses include all point release updates (such as from Komodo IDE 5.1 to Komodo IDE 5.2), so you're always up to date on tweaks and fixes to the version you've purchased. Licenses don't include upgrades, except with a Pro Studio subscription.
Safari Books online Subscription X
Online access to the electronic versions of thousands of the latest and greatest books from names you trust: O'Reilly, Addison-Wesley, Adobe Press, Cisco Press, Java Press, Macromedia Press, Microsoft Press, New Riders, No Starch, Novell Press, Peachpit Press, Premier Press, Prentice Hall, Prima Publishing, Que, Sams, SitePoint, Syngress, and Wharton School Publishing.
Upgrades $145 $145 Free!
Upgrades are major releases that include significant new functionality. These releases are indicated by a change to the initial number in the version number; for example, Perl Dev Kit 7.3 to Perl Dev Kit 8.0 is an upgrade. All upgrades are free with up-to-date Pro Studio subscriptions.
